We are a group of Enthusiasts from all over the world, mostly Germany, who create historical battles in scale 1:72.
As we do this since more than 10 years we thought it is time for our own blog.
Being a historical enthusiast I wanted to fulfill my dream of producing my own figures in this scale too. So I started working with several sculptors to produce exotic figures in 1:72 which I fear nobody else would bring on the market.

Where to buy our figures

Hussite battle at the Herne figure show

I just came back from these years spring hobby tour. Having met some old friends and had a lot of fun together the tour came to an end at the figure fair in Herne.

This was the first fair at which we went with the official stand of hagen-miniatures. To be honest we sold just enough to cover the costs. But I fear the good old days when this show was the center of 1/72 figure trading are gone. Beside us Kai Fuhrmann had his stand and then of course Peter Bergner (PB-Toys). But just a few news and these not in big numbers. This show is more for the collectors of bigger figures in my eyes.

But what made the fair worth a visit was a great medieval diorama of a Husit army attacking a medieval town while comming themselve under attack from a German Imperial relief force.

Really great stuff, but see yourself.

First the text describing the siege:

The diorama show the siege of a Saxon city in the campaign of 1428-30. To cover the siege the Hussites had their war-wagons with them which they put in a "Wagenburg" formation.

The relief force are Bavarian, Franconian and Bohemian units under the command of King Siegesmund of Bohemia.
